The Garden is truly a hidden gem...too bad the first review was yesterday. LOL...jk. My friend…read morerented the space today for a baby shower and it ended up being the best baby shower I have ever attended...period. The staff were friendly and very professional. The space has a cool outdoor garden brought indoor vibe and also has an outdoor area for cornhole and inflatable fun for kids. The bar area is well designed...heck the whole space is well designed. I don't know what they charge for catering, but it seems like you can bring your own catering as well. If I had something to celebrate, I'd rent this space in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great experience! :-)

Something different . I dig it. Friends of ours celebrated their joint Birthday party and the theme…read morewas "The Roaring 20s" . So it was cool to dress up and help them celebrate their birthdays. Venue reminds me of an old school Rave . Plenty of parking and room for 40-50 people easily . When you rent it out , you get the entire facility for your party !! Included Bar tender and In not sure if the DJ was separate or if they hired him separately. Not sure if they gave him some type of playlist or if he chose the music but that was probably the only negative... he clearly wasn't reading the room . I would def recommend this spot for birthdays, wedding party's , or large get togethers. But request your own DJ One last cool thing was .. the metro and amtrac trains are literally right next to Building , separated by 10 foot privacy fence but when the trains roll past, they are at full speed and it seemed to be something everyone was kind of intrigued by and surprised by I guess because of how fast it's going by.. just a cool but safe unique thing everyone was surprisingly excited about when they seen it for first time

The atmosphere was perfect & the owner Amy was very kind & patient. Her instructions were perfect, never thought I'd be able to draw & paint anything, but with her assistant my painting was good enough to hang for the holidays!! We were also served food, which was an additional added PLUS! I will definitely be going back, next time for a ladies night event!! Thank you Cloud 9 for the amazing experience.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Majestic Banquet Hall!…read more We celebrated my daughter's Kileywood Sweet 16 here, and I honestly could not have chosen a better venue. From start to finish, everything was AMAZING! The decorations were stunning, and they truly brought our Kileywood vision to life. The owners worked closely with us, and with Sonia and Maria handling the administrative work, everything ran smoothly and professionally. Their coordination and attention to detail made all the difference. The servers were incredible, the hosts were welcoming and organized, and even traffic direction was handled perfectly, making guest arrival and parking stress-free. Every staff member went above and beyond to make sure our event was flawless. What I appreciated most was how flexible and supportive they were allowing me to add my personal touches, welcoming me to visit several times during planning, and making me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. This venue didn't just host our event they helped create a once-in-a-lifetime memory for my daughter and our family. The level of care, professionalism, and excellence is unmatched.

Starting out with Shadae Mayfield at the office who helped me plan everything. Super helpful, so nice, patient, great follow up about everything, kept me on track, and gave me suggestions when I needed ideas! The food... you know how hard it is to have a good dinner for that many people, right? Rudy, the Chef at our boat was amazing, the food was so good. We had appetizers as people were boarding, the wait staff was so friendly, smiling, attentive, making sure everyone was being taken care of. Appetizers I picked were great, dinner after was amazing (I keep using that word but it was! meat, chicken, pasta, salad, salmon and desserts). The bartenders were on it too, from the minute people were boarding, they had trays with already served wine! what!!! yes. I had a full bar option for my event and OMG, so good. DJ Bob, crazy good. I told him in advance what we wanted, about my group, that we wanted to dance, etc. He got it! We danced the whole time. I literally had to ask people to leave the boat at the end of the event. Nobody wanted to go! Linel (sorry if I'm misspelling the manager's name) was so great, attentive, nice, funny. I'm telling you, the crew made sure we were having a great time. We did. I would so recommend National Elite Private Yachts to everyone. Having the workgroup together made a huge difference for us. Thank you again for everything!

I have attended two events at MPK Cabaret. My first visit was during a children's birthday party…read moreand the other was as a vendor for a teen girl sorority/non-profit organization. There are several rooms available for rent throughout the facility and lots of space for food, décor set up (e.g., balloon arches, 360° photo booth machine/photo booth area, etc.), and games. There is also moon bounce and equipment rental options available for use. Not sure of the price points and restrictions, but I would definitely recommend considering this venue as a location for your next private event. **There's also ample free onsite parking. __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

Was here on a Saturday afternoon/evening for my cousin's wedding. We started outdoors in a nice…read moregarden setting, moved indoors to what looked like a mansion for drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and to what looked like an open worship space (I believe it's a Unitarian Church) for dinner and dancing. Overall, it was a nice venue but the setup at dinner was a little crowded. They literally had to break down tables to make room for the dance floor. I realize that's not a knock on the space itself but a note to others planning large events here. The setting was in a relaxed suburban neighborhood, and it definitely helped to have GPS to find this place.

We had many requests and requirements for the reception, and she went out of her way to accommodate our needs and wants. She recommended excellent vendors who also went above and beyond for dietary restrictions. The location of Hollin Hall is also nice, and close to 495, but you wouldn't know it. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful grounds, it feels secluded and has beautiful gardens to wander. We were married in March and even though there were no leaves or flowers blooming it was a pretty backdrop for all our photos. I would definitely recommend Hollin Hall to anyone looking for a DC area wedding venue!

The place had great ambiance from the exposed brick walls to the hanging lights, the space was to die for. We were a little skeptical because none of us are artists, but this experience wound up being amazing. We had a great teacher who was super helpful. The class has a two drink maximum included in the purchase price, which was perfect, however I think you can by bottles on site. The whole experience was excellent and our paintings turned out pretty well compared to what we anticipated. If you are local and you are looking for some entertainment on the weekend, give this place a try!
